Me & my fiance's new toy











Its a '94, fully loaded(leather, ABS, airbags, torsen LSD , etc...), 107k miles, got it for $3800. We just picked it up wednesday, the car is in awesome conditition inside & out, & is just a blast to drive. Notice the exhaust...that had me going WTF for a little bit, but I actually like it now, somebody put alot of work into making it that way.

The only problem is the throwout bearing(clutch) I think is going out, so it makes alot of noise from time to time, but not too bad though.

And yes I still have my civic, im going to be running it the rest of this season. I'll be running the Miata next season though, just got to have some time for a little maintenence before I hit the track.

Im off to bed, ill be happy to answer any questions tomorrow...

That would be fun but would throw off the 50/50 weight distribution & make it handle like ****.

That would be like a hybrid car guzzling gas.

Im 6'2", no problems here, youd think so, but the interior as more comfy than you would think.

The paint is perfect...why repaint it??

swap out the seats or get them re-wrapped, and get a better tip or a new exhaust with a better tip like the Porsche Boxster S Anniversary edition

Sh*t man, no offence intended at all, I thought it was just some random person standing next to the car. Your fiance seems lovely, best of luck in the future.

Umm...right now I want to start out with a roll bar/harness, & some Konis.

Next i'll be learning to drive the thing. Ive been autoXing for almost a year now, & im not too bad, but thats in my civic, ive never had a RWD car out on the track. The handling characteristics are totally different for RWD cars, so ill need another driving school this year to keep me from spinning out all the time.

Im trying to find out what class ill be running in autoX, to see what mods will be legal, then ill go from there.

You know the ball sacs that are made for pickup trucks to hang off the tow hitch? You need to get some of those and hang them from the exhaust right behind the bumper. Just to uh, show that your miata is a manly miata. Miata's are excellent autox cars and turboing the car just seems natural, however there is another route that can be taken. 13b out of an RX-7. Imagine the fun you could have with that.
